Hi, I own a PSR s950 still quite happy with it but what I can't stand is the need to continuously sneaker net my USB drive between my keyboard and computer.
I want a smart USB device that can be plugged into my keyboard where it presents itself as a bog standard USB drive, however at the same time this device also has a wifi module which acts as a client on your network just like your laptop. This provides network drive access to the files on the USB drive. Both read and write. either direct from the OS or via a browser interface. No internet connection is required but you do need a wifi router which you most likely already have.
What this means is that you can map smart USB network drive in windows under a drive letter just like C: and drag and drop files to and from your keyboard USB drive as if the USB drive is plugged into the computer.
With a drive like that you can juggle style files, midi files audio files to your hearts content and never again dive behind the keyboard to pull that USB drive out or worse, try to plug it back in.
I researched the market and found several USB storage devices that have wifi build in. However, those act as an wifi access point and only while the device is not plugged in. That renders those things pretty much useless for my needs.

I am curious to hear from users on this forum who have found a solution similar to what I described above for keyboards that don't provide file level access via a local network out of the box.

I have started work on building such a device around a Raspberry Pi Zero W and I would love to hear if anyone else might be interested in such device.
